Web Development

How much should a Python web framework build in? Django comes with an ORM, an admin, and auth; Flask gives you a small core to extend.

Type hints alone let FastAPI validate requests and document your API. Python API frameworks for Django include Django Ninja, which reads them too.

In production, Gunicorn serves WSGI apps like Django, and Uvicorn ASGI apps like FastAPI. Need a Python web server on Windows? Waitress runs WSGI there.

Your Python WebSocket library follows your framework: Channels on Django, Flask-SocketIO on Flask with Socket.IO clients. websockets needs no framework.

Whether templates may hold Python code splits the Python template engines: Jinja keeps code out and sandboxes untrusted templates, Mako embeds plain Python.

Static files can skip a separate server: with WhiteNoise, Django static files are served by your app itself. Uploads go to cloud storage via django-storages.

Letting users log in with Google takes one Python authentication library: django-allauth on Django, which does password sign-up too, or Authlib elsewhere.

Django saves you from building a Python admin panel: its admin comes built in. Flask-Admin and SQLAdmin add one to Flask and FastAPI apps.

Both Python CMS picks run on Django: Wagtail for page types your developers define, like articles, and django CMS for editors building pages on the live site.

Install several Odoo apps, like CRM, accounting, and inventory, and they combine into an open source Python ERP that your own modules extend.

Of the two Python static site generators here, Pelican builds your blog. Nikola also builds sites that aren't only a blog, and takes Jupyter notebooks as posts.
